Wow! Looked at Browns Bay, lovely place... er... sea-level?
The dune system along Papamoa has an average height above mean sea level of about 8m, so when a 14m wave hits the dunes, only the top 6m of the wave flows onto the land. Once a tsunami hits land it loses about 1m of height for every 300m it travels.
dont know how accurate this info is from tga council but the japan tsunami travelled 6 miles inland
Full moons make high tides higher ...and if the wind blows stronger it surges even higher .....those across the road from the beach should not venture out
